ENTOMULOGICyVL SOCIRTV OF FRANCE. 137 



the Other sex of the GoUathus, lately described by M. Buquet 

 under the name of G. GralUi, and which had been taken on 

 the Island of Fernando Po, and two Calosomata from the Cape 

 de Verd Islands. M. Buquet assured the Society that he 

 would carefully examine the specimens themselves previously 

 to recording them as new in the publications of the Society. 



Before passing to the reading of the papers which were in 

 the hands of the Secretary, the Society deliberated on the 

 report received at its last sitting, on the subject of some altered 

 regulations which appeared requisite, in consequence of the 

 removal of its library, which had hitherto been deposited at 

 the residence of the Curator. The Society adopted the course 

 proposed in the Report, and entrusted the Council with drawing 

 up some regulations for the management of the library, a copy 

 of which should be placed in the room where the sittings were 

 held, in order to prevent the possibility of any misunderstand- 

 ing of the duties of the librarian. 



The following papers were read : — 



A description of two new Lepidoptera of the family Nocfuidce,

A notice on the metamorphosis of a species of AgriliiSf by

The following donation was announced : —

M. GuYOT called the attention of the Society to a Di/tlscus 

 which connected the species circumcinctus and duhius. The 

 specimen was a female, with smooth elytra, or at least very 

 slightly striated, and not in any degree comparable to the 

 deeply sulcated appearance which females usually present. 

 The only individuals which M. Guyot had seen appeared to 

 him perfectly mature, although the elytra were still soft. 



M. AuDouiN noticed the existence of a pamphlet which had 

 been published many years since, at Perpignan, by M. Farines,
